Deposit TON to Play ClubGG — The Telegram-Native Crypto Path
TON — The Open Network — is the Telegram-integrated blockchain, and the fastest Deep Poker deposit path for anyone with a Telegram account. Open the @wallet bot in Telegram, send TON, done in two taps. Sub-second confirmations, fees measured in cents.
$1 minimum. Zero platform fees. No KYC. This page covers the TON-native deposit (this page) and references the USDT-on-TON deposit (sibling page for players who want stable-coin value). Plus EQ/UQ address formats, memo-field handling, and wallet-by-wallet sending from Telegram, Tonkeeper, and major exchanges.
No phone number. No KYC. The Telegram audience's fastest path to the tables.
TON on Deep Poker — at a glance
Single network, fastest confirmations, EQ/UQ address quirk, and the “no memo” note upfront.
| Network accepted | TON (The Open Network, native) | TON native as its own chain — not TON Space or TON as a bridged asset on other chains. Single rail. |
| Typical fee | ~$0.01–$0.10 | Near-zero native transaction fees. TON's architecture is designed for micro-transactions; sending even small amounts is essentially free. |
| Confirmation time | Seconds (typically under 10 seconds) | Fastest confirmation profile of any asset Deep accepts. TON finalizes within a few seconds of broadcast; Deep credits shortly after. |
| Deep Poker platform fee | $0 | |
| Minimum deposit | $1 equivalent | |
| Address format | EQ… or UQ… (bounceable / non-bounceable) | TON has two address encodings for the same underlying wallet — EQ (bounceable) for contracts, UQ (non-bounceable) for regular wallets. Deep accepts either; modern wallets handle the distinction automatically. |
| Memo / comment field | Not required for Deep deposits | TON supports an optional memo/comment field on transactions. Deep's deposit flow uses per-user unique addresses, so no memo is required. If your wallet asks for a memo, leave it blank — incorrect memos don't cause failed credits but can slow support if something needs looking up. |
| KYC | Not required |
Native TON vs USDT on TON — the deposit choice
Deep accepts both native TON and USDT issued as a Jetton on TON. Same Telegram-native flow, same sub-minute confirmation, same near-zero fees — with the stablecoin offering price stability.
Native TON
The native token of The Open Network. Price-volatile vs USD. Used for gas on TON network. Held natively in Telegram Wallet (@wallet), Tonkeeper, MyTonWallet, and major exchanges like Binance and OKX. Deep credits your balance in USD at the mid-market TON rate at credit time.
Best for: TON holders who don't mind short-window price exposure, Telegram Wallet users depositing whatever balance they already have, speculators using poker balance as an exit path.
Full Native TON guide →USDT on TON
USDT issued as a Jetton (TON's token standard) on The Open Network. $1-pegged like any other USDT network. Deposits on this rail are price-stable — $100 sent is $100 credited, modulo rare depeg events. Same Telegram-Wallet-native deposit flow as native TON, just with price stability.
Best for: Most Telegram Wallet users most of the time. Sub-minute deposit, stable value, no price exposure between deposit and play. The default answer for the Telegram Wallet audience.
Full USDT on TON guide →The Telegram Wallet flow — two taps end to end
Telegram Wallet (the @walletbot) is the reason TON is on Deep's supported list. Telegram has hundreds of millions of active users; a significant share have activated @wallet and hold TON in it. For those users, depositing to Deep is faster than depositing from anywhere else.
The flow
- Copy Deep's TON deposit address from your Deep panel.
- Open Telegram. Find @wallet in your chats (or search for it if this is your first time using it).
- Tap the Send button → select TON → paste Deep's address → enter the amount → confirm.
- Done. The TON arrives at Deep's wallet within seconds. Deep credits your balance within a minute.
Why this is meaningful
Crypto deposit flows usually involve multiple apps (exchange app + wallet app + poker platform) with their own UX, fees, and steps. The Telegram Wallet path collapses all of that into a single Telegram chat. For players already comfortable using Telegram for poker-community communication, this is the shortest deposit path available — usually 30 seconds from deciding to deposit to seeing the chip balance update.
EQ vs UQ addresses — the TON address format quirk
TON has two address encodings for the same underlying wallet. Most users never need to care; the distinction matters only at the edge.
| Format | Prefix | Name | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bounceable | EQ… | Contract-style | Originally designed for smart-contract wallets. If the destination doesn't exist as a contract, the transaction 'bounces' back to the sender. This was the default for many years but is being phased out for regular wallets in favor of non-bounceable. |
| Non-bounceable | UQ… | Wallet-style | The modern default for regular (non-contract) wallets. Transactions don't bounce if the wallet hasn't been initialized yet. Most newer TON wallets issue addresses in this format. Tonkeeper, Telegram Wallet, and MyTonWallet all use UQ addresses as default. |
Both encodings map to the same wallet on-chain, so “sending to an EQ address” and “sending to the equivalent UQ address” produce the same result. Modern wallets automatically convert between the formats when users paste addresses. Deep's deposit address may be shown in either format depending on when your panel was generated; whichever it is, your wallet will handle the conversion automatically if needed.
The memo field — leave it empty
TON supports an optional memo/comment field on transactions. It's used by some exchanges and routing services to identify user accounts when multiple users share a single deposit address. Deep does not use memos.
Deep issues a unique TON deposit address to each user. The address alone identifies your account. If your wallet or exchange prompts for a memo or comment, leave it blank. If the field is required (some older exchange UIs), put a dash (-) or the word “none” — Deep ignores whatever is in the memo field on incoming transactions.
How to deposit TON to Deep Poker
Seven steps. The “two-tap” claim for Telegram Wallet users applies to steps 4 through 6 combined — the rest is Deep-side setup.
- Create your Deep Poker account.
deep.poker/register. Email plus password. Under a minute, no phone, no KYC.
- Open the TON deposit screen on Deep.
Deposit → TON. Deep shows a TON address (EQ or UQ format). TON has a single supported network rail on Deep, so there's no network-selection step. If you hold USDT on TON specifically (not native TON), use the USDT deposit flow instead and pick TON as the network there.
- Copy the deposit address.
Copy the full address exactly. TON addresses are 48-character base64-like strings starting EQ or UQ. No memo or comment is required on Deep's side — leave that field blank if your wallet asks.
- Open your TON wallet or Telegram @wallet.
Telegram users: find @wallet in your Telegram chats (or search for it). TON-native wallet users: open Tonkeeper, MyTonWallet, or your chosen wallet. Exchange users: go to the withdrawal screen for TON.
- Send TON, confirm the amount and address.
Paste Deep's address, enter the amount, confirm. Fees are minimal (under $0.10 typically). Memo/comment field should remain empty. The transaction broadcasts immediately and finalizes within seconds.
- Wait for credit (a few seconds to a minute).
TON confirms transactions within seconds. Deep applies a short safety buffer before crediting — typically under a minute end-to-end. Paste your transaction hash into tonscan.org or tonviewer.com to watch the transfer in real time.
- Your Deep Poker balance updates in USD.
Deep converts the TON amount to USD at the mid-market rate at credit time. Your Deep balance is now in USD — no longer moves with TON's price. Transfer chips into any ClubGG, PPPoker, or PokerBros club you have access to. Every hand earns Deep rakeback — 25% at Bronze up to 50% at Legend.
Sending from specific wallets and exchanges
@wallet inside Telegram is the fastest. Dedicated TON wallets (Tonkeeper, MyTonWallet) offer more features. Major exchanges (Binance, OKX, Bybit) handle TON cleanly as of late 2023 onward.
Telegram Wallet (@wallet in Telegram)
✓ Telegram-nativeOpen Telegram → find @wallet in your chats (or search for it) → select TON (or USDT) → Send → paste Deep's TON address → confirm. Telegram Wallet handles the underlying TON transaction; your confirmation is a single Telegram message tap.
The @wallet bot is the simplest path for anyone already on Telegram. No separate wallet app needed — the TON balance lives inside Telegram itself. Fees on @wallet transactions are a few cents typically. This is why Deep supports TON: it's the most frictionless crypto deposit path for the significant Telegram-poker audience.
Tonkeeper (mobile + browser extension)
Open Tonkeeper → select TON → Send → paste Deep's TON address → confirm. Tonkeeper is the most feature-rich TON-native wallet — supports staking, DApps, full chain interaction. For Deep deposits specifically it's overkill but works cleanly.
MyTonWallet (browser extension)
Open MyTonWallet → select TON → Send → paste Deep's address → confirm. MyTonWallet focuses on simplicity. Supports multi-account setups and is the closest TON-native equivalent to MetaMask's EVM experience.
Binance
Binance → Wallet → Withdraw → TON → network: TON (The Open Network) → paste Deep's address → confirm with 2FA. Binance withdrawal fee for TON is typically around 0.1 TON (a few cents).
Binance's TON support became more prominent after 2023 when TON's Telegram integration grew. The withdrawal is straightforward; make sure you pick 'TON' as the network and not a wrapped-token alternative.
OKX
OKX → Wallet → Withdraw → TON → pick TON network → paste Deep's address → confirm. Similar pattern to Binance. OKX withdrawal fees for TON are typically under $0.10.
Bybit
Bybit → Assets → Withdraw → TON → select TON network → paste address → confirm. Consistent with other major exchanges. TON is increasingly a standard native-asset option.
Troubleshooting — common TON deposit problems
I put a memo/comment and I'm worried
Not a problem for Deep specifically. Deep ignores memos on incoming TON transactions — your deposit address identifies your account. If you included random text in the memo field, the credit still happens normally. For future deposits, leave the memo blank.
My wallet shows an EQ address but Deep shows UQ (or vice versa)
Not actually a problem. EQ and UQ are two encodings of the same underlying wallet — they're interchangeable for practical purposes. Paste whatever Deep shows; your wallet will handle the format correctly on the outgoing side.
I sent to an EQ address and it bounced back
EQ (bounceable) addresses bounce transactions back to the sender if the destination doesn't exist as an initialized wallet. This is very rare on Deep because Deep's addresses are active and initialized. If it does happen, the TON returns to your wallet within a minute. Retry using the same address — occasional TON network hiccups can cause temporary bounces.
TON confirmed but Deep balance didn't update
Allow up to 2 minutes past the first confirmation on tonscan.org. If the delay exceeds 15 minutes, open a Deep support ticket with your transaction hash and Deep account email. TON credits are among the fastest on Deep; delays past a few minutes are worth flagging.
Someone DM'd me on Telegram offering to help with my TON deposit
Block them. Deep Poker never DMs users about deposits. This is a particularly common phishing vector on Telegram because TON deposits are Telegram-native — scammers assume a TON depositor is active on Telegram. See scam patterns for the full red-flag list.
Can I use TON Connect to deposit?
Deep's deposit flow doesn't require TON Connect — you just copy the deposit address and paste into your TON wallet. TON Connect (similar to WalletConnect for EVM chains) is used by TON DApps that need to interact with your wallet; it's not needed for a simple deposit transaction. Simpler, no wallet-connection signing required.
Withdrawing TON — same SLA, same chain
Every network Deep accepts for deposits, it pays out on. TON withdrawals sit in Deep's standard SLA — 1 hour typical, 24 hours absolute maximum — and TON's sub-second chain finality means the destination (including Telegram's @wallet) receives the TON almost immediately after Deep signs the payout.
- Minimum withdrawal: $10 equivalent.
- Maximum withdrawal: none.
- Platform fee: zero.
- Destination:any valid TON address (EQ or UQ format), including Telegram @wallet, Tonkeeper, MyTonWallet, or any exchange's TON deposit address.
- KYC: not required.
How your TON deposit fits into rakeback
Your deposit coin and network have no effect on rakeback. TON, BNB, BTC, ETH, USDT/USDC on any network — every rail credits the same Deep balance, and every hand you play earns rakeback at the same published ladder.
Deep Poker pays rakeback from your first hand: 25% at Bronze, climbing through Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Legend at 50%. Tiers are lifetime cumulative — they never reset. Payouts weekly, automatic, in USD.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is TON and why does it matter for poker deposits?
TON — The Open Network — is a Layer 1 blockchain originally developed by the Telegram team and now maintained by the independent TON Foundation. It matters for poker deposits because it's deeply integrated with Telegram: the @wallet bot lets anyone with a Telegram account hold and send TON directly from the Telegram app. For the substantial poker audience that lives on Telegram, TON is the lowest-friction crypto rail to and from a poker platform. Two-tap deposits, sub-second confirmations, near-zero fees.
Do I need a separate TON wallet or can I use Telegram's @wallet?
Either works. The @wallet bot inside Telegram is the simplest option — no separate app, no seed phrase to manage, direct from Telegram chat. For users who want more control or plan to use TON for DeFi or staking, a dedicated wallet like Tonkeeper or MyTonWallet offers broader functionality. For Deep Poker deposits specifically, @wallet is completely sufficient and the fastest path.
What's the difference between EQ and UQ addresses?
Both represent the same underlying TON wallet — different encodings for different contexts. EQ (bounceable) is the older default designed for smart-contract addresses; if you send to an EQ address and the destination doesn't exist, the transaction 'bounces' back to you. UQ (non-bounceable) is the modern default for regular wallets — transactions don't bounce and will initialize an uninitialized wallet on first transfer. Modern wallets issue UQ addresses by default and auto-handle the conversion when someone pastes an EQ address. Deep accepts either format; practically, if you see EQ, it works, and if you see UQ, it works.
Do I need to include a memo or comment when sending TON?
No. Deep uses per-user unique deposit addresses, so the address itself identifies your account — no memo needed for routing. TON transactions support an optional memo/comment field (used by some exchanges to route deposits to specific user accounts within a shared wallet), but on Deep the field should stay empty. If your wallet requires a memo field, leave it blank or put a dash.
What's the fee for a TON transfer?
Near-zero native fees — typically $0.01 to $0.10 from self-custody. TON's blockchain architecture is designed for micro-transactions, so sending $1 or $100,000 costs roughly the same at the network level. Exchange withdrawal fees are slightly higher (usually around 0.1 TON, a few cents) but still among the cheapest crypto withdrawal options across Deep's supported networks.
How fast does a TON deposit credit to Deep?
Typically under a minute end-to-end. TON confirms transactions within seconds at the chain level — much faster than Bitcoin (minutes to hours) or Ethereum (several minutes). Deep applies a short safety buffer before crediting, which adds maybe 30 seconds. In practice, the full flow from hitting send to seeing your Deep balance update is often 30 seconds to a minute. This is tied for the fastest confirmation profile Deep supports.
Native TON vs USDT on TON — which should I pick?
USDT on TON for most users. Same Telegram-native flow, same sub-minute confirmation, same near-zero fees — but with $1-pegged stability instead of TON's price volatility. If you already hold native TON and don't want to convert first, deposit TON directly (Deep converts at mid-market rate at credit time). If you're acquiring crypto to deposit, USDT on TON is the cleaner choice. Both land in the same Deep balance in USD.
Can I deposit TON directly to ClubGG?
No. ClubGG is a social-gaming app and doesn't handle real-money crypto. On Deep Poker, TON deposits land in your own Deep balance in USD terms, from which you transfer chips into any ClubGG, PPPoker, or PokerBros club you have access to. The Telegram-native deposit convenience gives you a fast on-ramp to Deep; after that, the club-app flow is identical to any other coin.
What if I send TON to the wrong address?
If the address is valid but wrong (you copy-pasted someone else's TON address), recovery depends on whoever controls the destination — it isn't automatic. If the address is invalid (malformed), the transaction either rejects at send time or bounces back (bounceable EQ addresses). If you sent to a Deep address meant for a different asset (unlikely given TON's distinct format), contact Deep support immediately with the transaction hash — Deep controls its TON addresses and recovery is often possible for within-platform mistakes.
Does Telegram Wallet charge fees for sending TON?
Very small fees — a few cents per transaction, paid in TON. @wallet is one of the cheapest ways to send TON because it uses Telegram's infrastructure efficiently. For micro-deposits (say under $20), the @wallet path is effectively free from a fee-percentage perspective, which makes TON deposits uniquely good for small-amount depositors.
Can I withdraw winnings in TON?
Yes. Every network Deep accepts for deposits, it pays out on. TON withdrawals sit in Deep's standard SLA — 1 hour typical, 24 hours absolute maximum — and TON's sub-second chain finality means the destination wallet (including Telegram's @wallet) receives the funds almost immediately after Deep signs the payout on-chain. $10 minimum equivalent, no maximum, zero platform fees.
Is TON safe as a deposit asset?
At the network level, yes — TON's consensus has been running since 2020 with no significant security incidents on the base chain. The asset is traded on all major exchanges and held by millions of Telegram users natively. Security considerations are the same as any other crypto: your own wallet security, avoiding phishing, and not sending deposit addresses to strangers. Deep's TON deposit flow itself is standard — the TON address comes from your logged-in Deep panel, not from any chat message.
Does Deep Poker require KYC for TON deposits?
No. Deep does not require KYC for deposits, play, or withdrawals — regardless of coin, network, or amount. Email-based registration is the entire sign-up. TON is no exception.
Is TON supported for ClubGG, PPPoker, and PokerBros on Deep?
Yes. Your TON deposit credits your Deep balance in USD, and you buy chips for any supported club on any of the three platforms Deep represents. The Telegram-native deposit convenience applies to all three — once the deposit credits, your club selection is independent.
What about TON Connect — is that relevant?
Not for Deep deposits. TON Connect is a protocol for connecting TON wallets to DApps (similar to how WalletConnect works for EVM chains). It's useful for TON DeFi and TON-native apps. Deep's deposit flow doesn't use wallet-connect — you just copy the deposit address from the Deep panel and paste into your TON wallet to send. Simpler, no wallet-connection signing required.
